Question

Content Delivery Network - What is the difference between DNS and CDN?

Answer

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) typically utilize the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) for dynamic request routing. The primary function of DNS is to map fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) to IP addresses. To ascertain an FQDN's address, a DNS client sends a request to its local DNS server.
